Day 1: Few Hours Later
Just as the unnamed baby crocodile thought about the sudden trip, his mama force him to go on when another prompt popping into existence within his mind took him off-guard.
[Message from your tender and magnificent smartie R.O.B]
[Okay, look, kiddo. It's a pleasure to have you. It's so worth paying for these overpriced Forges Soul prices. I have two things to share with you.]
[Am to be the strongest: Your mission in life is not just to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with a little passion, compassion, humour and style!!]
[I can say that. Most of these features apply to you]
[Second one. If you fail, you're dead. I will personally re-capture your soul and send it to the Boko no Pico Universe as a trap!]
[Good luck!!!]
[Love & kisses! R.O.B]
....
....
....
The unnamed crocodile baby was rebooted when its mother pushed it with her front claw to head towards the back of a cave with her...
….? The Hell?!!
"What happened to the swamp, the marsh, the forest or whatever?" he asked, disoriented by the sudden change of scenery. "Why am I in an underground cave?" However unknown to him his voice was barely a gurgle to the Dragon, not speech.
Oh my gosh, no. A crocodile smile is never trustworthy.
It's common knowledge that sharks are bad news. They make the sea a frightful and dangerous place. However, they live (mainly) in the sea, which means that rivers and lakes are safe, don't they? Wrong!
Step in the crocodile!
They tend to be huge green monsters always looking for the next meal, hiding in rivers, wetlands, and sometimes in castle moats or sewers. They have the strongest bite strength of all modern animals. Extinct crocodilians like Deinosuchus have the mightiest bite forces of all animals. Armoured scales which make them difficult to injure. They also seem to be perpetually smiling, such that they evoke the Slasher Smile. Moreover, these are reptiles, which tend to make them even more despicable if possible.
Ok, most of that info is very untrue baby since she is part dragon and his a magic-filled world. The baby crocodile thinks tvtropes is a good source of information.
He needs to run away from his mama.
"You were frozen like a statue for a good hour, so I brought you here at the lower end of the Draco Mountain." His mother informed.
Blinking again and again. The reincarnated hero was surprised when his mother swung her tail and walked away from a big cloud of earth, and for a while, nothing happened. Then he came along. It was a kind of grotesque caterpillar ascending from the depths of the ground.
"It's called a Black Worm; when you hatch, it'll be your main source of food until you're strong enough to venture from the cave to hunt other creatures in the labyrinth." He simply blinked; she expected him to eat the gross worm!? "As you are now, the egg provides you with the nutrients you need to sustain yourself. Once you hatch, you must hunt on your own." He looked up with an inquiring look. What was she trying to get him to do? Apparently reading his thoughts, she smiles. "Kill him, prove yourself strong."
Her child lets out what seems to be a squeak and squawk.
"I am merely an egg!" I was literally born this morning! What's more, this thing is super disgusting! " He declared, trying to state the facts that this was a bad idea. "Correspondingly... What labyrinth? Furthermore... I am no more than an EGG!

"The Grand Draco Maze is the largest maze in the world, linking human continents to the underground dragon while having an ocean above it. This is the house of a myriad of monsters who often have the name of the dungeon attached to their name. " She explained in detail.
"... Okay? " He said slowly and very scared at this point.
She's smiling again.
"The Underground Labyrinth is separated into four different levels of depth; the Upper Stratum, Middle Stratum, Lower Stratum, and Bottom Stratum. We are at the bottom Stratum, the weakest out of four, although nearly all monsters down here are poisonous
"...." Her son is staring at her with a thunderstruck look.
There are many habits in there too. One of them is the Red Sand Maze 'Desert Labyrinth', also known as the Graveyard of the sand! (She tries to hold in a giggle at his increasing horror) with the sand being mixed with iron (that is oxidized by the artificial sun) and the blood of weak prey, it possesses an ominous blood-red colour. The heat there is much higher than in a normal desert, reaching 90°C but perceived as over 200°C because of the sand's reflection
The reincarnated monster is still frozen in fear of the sudden dangers for his person. But he still notes that mama was a science nerd.
Or the Ice Vault! Also known as Dammed's Glacé Tomb! This giant cavern-sized continent is made almost entirely of true ice that seems to just come out of the subterranean sea. Its surface area is a barren tundra of ice and snow that goes on for miles with almost no notable sights or landscapes aside from the Ice Mountain at the centre of the continent where the boss lives and the only way out. And it is almost impossible for ordinary outsiders to survive in this frozen wasteland without eventually freezing into ice themselves or becoming impaled by the deadly icicles often carried by the fierce snowstorms."
The mother looks at her newborn.
"Or perhaps you could go to the safety zone."
"They are safety zones in this hellhole?!" he asked, quieter.
She laughs with all her heart, it makes the whole mountain shiver.
"... oh, I love you, Mon petit!
"Holy shit... You make earthquakes by laughing? He says he's trying to keep himself upright.
"The Draco Plateau is also known as The Monsters Dwelling, is an area where Draco hybrids live. The Draco Plateau is a vast and arid, rocky desert with giant rocks, the bones of the dead and the mountains being the only sight to see for kilometres. No plants seem to exist there. The region is mainly inhabited by hundreds of different species of predatory animals which often fight against each other or are eaten by the Patron du Plateau. The Draco Mou. A large quadrupedal orange beast bulging with muscle and covered in scars. I heard it quite powerful. Though time will tell if it's there later... Minerva's husband is an idiot."
"HOW THE FUCK IS THAT SAFE?!!! "He was shrieking at high octane. " "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?! AND STOP DISMISSING MY QUESTIONS! "
The crocodile mother reflects for a while, then holds two pinched claws to say 'a bit'.
"WOW!!! "He chuckled. " "A little... hahaha! A little... At least my mother is honest to herself and others."
"Great, isn't it?" she asked with a smile.
"Shit, no!" He retaliated. His hysterical, frightening laughter was at an all-time high. "I would not be reborn as a trap!" I will kill this thing and become stronger, and if I die... I'll buy a gun and begin shooting people! I'm black... is... and lived in the United States! I will regret NOTHING!! It doesn't matter if it's racist... I don't give a shit about that shit in junior high!"

As a response to this. Mother threw her newborn in the ring with the tapeworm.
[Skill Resistance Learned (Passive) [Fall Resistance: Lv - 1] acquired]
You now take minus 1% fall damage from 10 meters.
The trollish God's Voice informed the baby crocodile.
His hp went down to 8 from that fall.
That was not good.
[Titles acquired:[Clutz: Lv1] was acquired.]
Because you are such a clutz. You have gained a title! Try not to hurt yourself anymore O.K? I don't like losing my first client because he fails to have any motor functions and dies in such a pathetic way.
-10% of Fall damage from all sources
"Is this a bad joke?" he wondered, furious. "I despise you, the voice of God!" I just got pushed! My ass didn't even fall! Do I strike you as an idiot? Such bad taste you have! It's not a title, it's a slur!
God's Voice Lv 1: Cannot provide that explanation... nor does he gives a shit.
"I. Hate. You!" The newborn magic crocodile yelled at the voice in his head. "Just watch you will get yours ya bitch! Now, what is this thing?"
Dark worm... This is a giant tapeworm monster which grew fangs and a taste for eggs! Dragons and caiman eggs are their favourite food.
"But I have poor taste!" he exclaimed. For some reason, he feels that God's Voice resists the urge to make a sarcastic remark.
“Shaaa!” The monster from hell tries to attack its next meal.
"Halt!" The baby croc shouted. The dark stopped with confusion in its body language.
Momma croc watch with amusement at the display.
"Alright dark worm thing. I don't like you, and you don't like me. But help me understand, why would you do something like that? It's just such an unsavoury thing to do. Eating egg."
"Shaa— (CRUNCH)"
The baby croc tails smack the dark worm in the face.
"Now I will finish you off... RUNAWAY!" The baby croc yelled out and climbed out of the mother's arena, and left deeper into the cave.
God's Voice not existing jaw dropped at the sudden tactical retreat of his first client. Usually, most of them fight to the death with the monster being the winner.
The Dark Worm is chasing the reincarnated human now monster with a vengeance on its mind! Lucky for the baby crocodile lured the fugly worm to a place where he could have an advantageous position. Even though HE understands that he can easily die because eggs are soft and that worm has very pointy teeth. The Dark Worm's hisses are coming closer and closer. This increases his will to move faster.
Escape! Escape! Escape!
The baby croc goes up the rocky incline and looks for a good place to hide and see a place that looks like several stair steps. Almost fell down from one of them but was able to recover.
"Shaa!"
"Let me guess, you're gonna say, ‘Time for you die,.’”
"Sahh!...?" The worm appears astonished. When the worm was within an inch of its food. The magic crocodile swings its tail with all its might at the worm a white glow shines along with the attack.
"Hell yeah!"
The worm's fangs are knocked out, and half its face is caved in.
Of course, that was enough to defeat it!
"I hope you make a good cushion."
"SAA!" The worm falls down the cliff.
"Aw, come on, dude, if you're going to die. Then die like a man and with a smile on your face."
The dark worm screams in fear while the baby crocodile yells in excitement.
They both crash against the ground! The baby croc, of course, uses the Dark Worm as a cushion to evade the blow on himself.
"Gah!" He grunted in pain. The damn worm was not soft enough.
The front part of the Dark Worm looked as if it was dented, and he was vomiting some black bodily fluids.
Ewwww so gross
"Dude... you ok, bro?" The reincarnated hero asked sincerely.
The worm just gives a 'are you fucking with me' glare."
"ShaAaAaAaAAAaa!"
"Holy shit! You sound AWFUL... At least your voice is better than your looks, though. Because my dude...♪ your face looks like it has been through a good smacking...♪"
The thing then fell to the ground once again.
After five seconds, the worm doesn't move. So the baby crocodile can do only one thing.
"♪Who got ya?♪ That was me! ♪ That's right! It was me! I gotcha ya! Yes, I did!.♪" The baby crocodile sang and danced at my victory.
12 experience points were obtained.] [Because of the effects of Title Skill [Mama's Boy]. Another 12 experience points were obtained.].
"I will remember this jackass!" The baby croc stops his victory dance and singing.
[The level of [????] raised from 1 to 5.] [ [????] has reached its MAX level.]
[The evolution condition has been satisfied.] [You have been rewarded with 5 skill points] Nice work mama boy
"Max!? already?"
Normally he would be mad at those kinds of cheats, but since... it was him. Who gives a fuck.
"I reached max level just by defeating a monster from my nightmares? D-dang, I didn't realize I was such a crappy creature...WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU CALLING A MOMMA'S BOY!?
You
"Why you little..."
Before throwing futile threats at my person. You are to hatch evolved, I recommend you should eat the worm. Then, you will get more possible evolutions!
"Wow, nice system you got there. You got really talkative and accommodating all of sudden snarky god's voice, dude." He said in a calm tone.
You're welcome jackass.
"Thank you smartass!" The baby croc fired off his last piece of sass. Then looks back at his first kill.
The idea of eating this giant caterpillar is quite dreadful if you ask him. But he supposes that it should give him good nutrients for his growth.
Munch!
It was the taste of nightmares.
You have 20 Biomass points. The more biomass points you have the more body can mutate. Tip for the future. Once you pick a part to mutate it's there for life. They are passive parts so be careful
The baby crocodile didn't hear rest as he passed out from the sheer disgusting taste.
Mama Croc was on the verge of leaving when she remembered something important."Oh, I forgot to give it a name..." How about Dracul"

I will be releasing a chapter every day at 9:15 AM EST (13:15 GMT), as well as the occasional double chapter (which will always be announced by a post-chapter author blurb). Check in fifteen minutes after the first chapter's release! After this first month of publication, the aim is to go for either a weekly or bi-weekly release schedule, depending on the sort of time I can reliably dedicate to writing. Either way, settle in for the long haul, and welcome to the story!
